G-Force is a registered Charity working with children, Young People and Adults living in disadvantaged communities in South Trafford . Our main aim is to provide support, services and developmental opportunities to all the members of the community living on the Broomwood Estate in Timperley.

We also work in other similar communities in South Trafford.

G-Force offers a variety of activities and opportunities for individuals and groups, regardless of background. These are designed to encourage, educate, empower and engage those involved into living a more fulfilled life

We recognise that there are pockets of 'isolated' people and we reach out to help to encourage them back into mainstream society

Learning through Art is more than an Art club; it is not just about the final product (although there will always be something amazing to show) it is about the journey to that point, using the creative process as a learning tool.

Classes are designed by an experienced Primary Teacher to encourage children’s creativity, raise self-esteem and develop knowledge and understanding across the curriculum, whilst having fun. Learning through Art gives structure, guidance and purpose to children’s natural curiosity and desire to learn and understand. It teaches them how to become independent learners using Art as their tool.

MindEd is a free educational resource on children and young people's mental health for all adults.

MindEd is suitable for all adults working with, or caring for, infants, children or teenagers; all the information provided is quality assured by experts, useful, and easy to understand. We aim to give adults who care for, or work with, young people:

the knowledge to support their wellbeing

the understanding to identify a child at risk of a mental health condition

the confidence to act on their concern and, if needed, signpost to services that can help

This is for you if you volunteer, work or are studying to work with infants, children or teenagers. MindEd has e-learning applicable across the health, social care, education, criminal justice and community settings. It is aimed at anyone from beginner through to specialist.

Are you a parent or carer who is concerned about your child? Or perhaps you just want some hints and tips on parenting? MindEd for Families has online advice and information from trusted sources and will help you to understand and identify early issues and best support your child.

This is a fun, engaging, non-threatening and relaxed youth club where those attending can take part in as much or as little as they want.

This is run in partnership by Sport Works and Gorse Hill Studios with mixed sessions including; basketball, boccia, football, dodgeball, tag rugby, long cricket, creative arts, drama, visual; arts and music. If you prefer just to chill out and chat then we have a bean bag room with xBox and TV, or you may want to do what most of our young people do - enjoy a bit of both.

Touchdown runs weekly integrated dance workshops at Sale Waterside Arts Centre. In the morning we have a fully inclusive dance session and in the afternoon we have a sign-along choir, which is also open to all abilities.

The Proud Trust supports lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans young people in Manchester, Greater Manchester and the North West. We do this in three main ways:

Services for Young People – we run a variety of weekly youth work sessions for young people in Manchester. Our LGBT youth offer includes groups for lesbian and bisexual young women, a trans group, a BAME group which run alongside our LGBT youth groups. We also run a 121 and Peer Mentoring Service for young people to access support remotely. Our groups are open to young people ages between 12 and 19 (up to 25 with an additional need)

The Network – we coordinate a professionals network for youth workers running LGBT youth services across the UK. This is done with regular meetings, a fortnightly newsletter and events for young people. We operate this network in partnership with the North West Regional Youth Work Unit. With this network we have developed a ten year strategy for the region called the 2020 Vision for LGBT Young People

Training and Consultancy – we offer a wide range of LGBT Awareness training opportunities from workshops for young people through to bespoke training for professionals working in the youth sector.

At the same sessions Gorse Hill Studios provides mixed sessions based around creative arts and expressions, as such young people have a complete choice of which to do at each visit.

Gorse Hill Studios implements a rolling programme of innovative arts (Drama, Dance, Media, Visual Arts and Music) and youth work techniques to create and provide opportunities, empower participants, increase wellbeing and potential. The group explores and identifies a theme for each session that culminates in a series of skills sharing and show back events.

At the end of the day it is about 2 things; making children enjoy themselves and to offer parents/carers a short break!

How accessible is this service?

Around one in five young people in the UK are not in work, education or training. Youth unemployment costs the UK economy £10 million a day in lost productivity, while youth crime costs £1 billion every year.

We address this by giving practical and financial support to the young people who need it most. We help develop key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling young people to move into work, education or training.

Programmes to support young people

We run programmes that encourage young people to take responsibility for themselves – helping them build the life they choose rather than the one they’ve ended up with:

The Enterprise programme provides money and support to help young people start up in business.

The Team programme is a 12-week personal development course, offering work experience, qualifications, practical skills, community projects and a residential week.

Get Started are short courses designed to help young people develop new skills, build confidence and have fun, helping them to move forwards in their lives.

Get into are short courses offering intensive training and experience in a specific sector to help young people get a job.

Development Awards are small grants to enable young people to access education, training or work.

Prince's Trust xl clubs give 13-19 year olds who are at risk of truanting, exclusion and underachievement a say in their education. They aim to improve attendance, motivation and social skills.

The Fairbridge programme works with young people aged 13-25, giving them the motivation, self-confidence and skills they need to change their lives.

We also have Job Ambassadors who have been in the young person's position and which can help you with advice, guidance and inspiration.

Who to contact

Who is it for?

There are almost one million young people in the UK not in education, employment or training. The Prince's Trust focuses its efforts on those people who need our help the most.

We have four key target groups:

Unemployed young people

Young people leaving care

Young offenders and ex-offenders

Trafford Leisure project up date – further to the successful BALANCE project 2016/2017 we are happy to announce a follow up project to support families with children between the ages of 5 and 13 years. This programme is there to support children of all abilities and your family specialist referral lead will be there to support any needs you may have.

The new Family Activity Referral will support each family through 12 weeks of physical activity access at Trafford Leisure facilities and community activities across the borough.

We will have a new family specialist referral lead who will be liaising closely with the families and a direct link for you to discuss each referred family.

We urge you to communicate personally with the lead to add specifics that might not traditionally go on a form. Please update on any important updates that would be beneficial for the lead to know so they can support the families appropriately.

Where this programme differs from the BALANCE programme is that there will be no waiting list. The families will be seen within a week of first contact, each family will start their 12 week journey independently.

The 12 weeks will be free of charge for the family and children up to the age of 13 years. Due to criteria restrictions in the funding gained, those children over 13 years will be subject to a small weekly attendance fee or can be referred into the regular Physical Activity Referral Programme. As well as accessing the activities as a family unit at least once a week, family members will be able to, and encouraged to, use the facilities independently. We feel this independent training enables family members to achieve any personal goals or take some respite.

We are really excited about this new offer and we hope you are too. We’d love to come and speak to you (and the team) about this and answer any questions you may have ahead of launching in June. To arrange a meeting, please contact us on the details below:

Sport Works supports children/young people with a range of disabilities including; Moderate and Severe Learning Difficulties, Physical and Mental Learning Difficulties, Autism and Social Interaction Difficulties. Generally these children/young people enjoy sports and games but often have particular difficulties with balance, coordination, social and communication skills and often find it difficult to take part.

At Partington Sports Village we provide 2 hour weekly sessions for disabled young people aged 4-25 years. Each session will be split into 2 x 1 hour periods, 1 hour in the sports hall and 1 hour in the swimming pool. We offer a range of physical activities designed to develop basic skills, increasing activity in a fun/social environment and ensure these young people receive individualised support within a non-threatening, inclusive environment.

‘Reach Out So We Reach You’

At Alchemy Arts we work with many partners across the North West and so don’t believe in having one main venue. We are a mobile arts organisation, that personally visit our community or organise specific venues depending on the community we are working with. We find this is much better for our clients so they can explore different areas and get the feel of Alchemy being a fun, safe and educational environment.
